$3 Pho or $300 omakase??
I got a steak lunch treat from a friend earlier this week, and I must have failed to express the necessary effusiveness about the quality of the meal (for the avoidance of doubt, because I know he reads this blog - it was good :D), because he asked me, actually, what do you like to eat XD Anyway - my honest answer was, Thai green curry, as well as rice noodles, like Vietnamese pho or Ipoh hor fun. To which his reaction was, you like simple food! Yes I do :) I have to say, over the last few years, for various reasons, I have had some pretty fancy multi-course meals. I had never heard of "palate cleansers". Let's face it. Eating something to forget what you just paid a bomb to eat is just mad. I had never heard of "omakase" - the idea of forking out enormous sums in order *not* to be able to choose what you want to eat sounds... ridiculous? But what do I know! Which brings me to another dinner conversation I had earlier this year....
